Notice the grips on the bars too, sans tape. The things you can learn
in a day. It's just amazing.

Ouch!
More modern bikes for women and obese men come with dual postion brake
levers and taped bars up past the hoods so you can ride in a more
upright position.

Do you think the stem is centered in the middle of the handle bars.
Artistic license maybe?

Actually, if that's 1950 as indicated by the URL, those cranks
could be a pair of 49D's!

And NATURALLY so.
